Pair of Antique Wing Back Armchairs

1900 - 1920
Description

Pair of Early 20th Century Wingback Armchairs

Item Code: EL12/775

A handsome pair of early 20th-century wingback armchairs, each with a tall shaped back, pronounced wings, enclosed arms and a loose seat cushion.

The chairs are raised on cabriole front legs terminating in carved claw-and-ball feet, with square supports to the rear. Their generous proportions and high backs give them a strong, comfortable presence, making them well suited to a drawing room, library or fireside setting.

The existing pale blue patterned upholstery shows wear, discolouration and staining, and the chairs would benefit from re-upholstery. They provide an excellent opportunity to be recovered in a fabric of choice.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Wingback chairs originated in 17th-century England to trap heat from open fireplaces and protect occupants from cold room draughts.

Traditional construction utilizes solid hardwood frames such as walnut, mahogany, or beech, paired with jute webbing, horsehair stuffing, and woven damask or velvet upholstery.

Authentic period examples feature hand-carved cabriole legs ending in ball-and-claw feet, traditional horsehair padding, hand-stitched webbing, and evidence of hand-planing on timber elements.

Position the pair opposite a contemporary sofa or framing a fireplace to introduce historical texture, structural contrast, and balanced architectural symmetry to a living space.

Vacuum textile surfaces gently using a soft brush attachment, apply natural beeswax to exposed wooden legs, and keep seating out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric discolouration.
